Temperance Instruction in Michigan.

The newly-amended Scientific Tenn
perance Instruction law in Michigan
takes effect September 8. 1t provides
that instruction shall be given in phys
iology and hygiene with special refer
ence to narcotics and their effects upon
the human system. The instruction
shall be given by textbooks where the

school. The proportion of space that
books must give to the SUBJECTS stated.
The books must first be approved by
the State Board of Education, and the
school board are subject to fine or for
fixture for failing to comply with the
provisions of the act. This act applies
to all schools in the State, including
schools in cities and villages, whether
incorporated under special charter or
the general law.

Yesterday Governor ROBBIE became again a
private citizen. Few of the retiring Govern
ors Of Maine have been able to point to a
longer term of service to their State. Begin
ming in the House of Representatives, he had
worked his way up to the speakership as
long as ten years ago; and since then he has
served continuously in the Legislative or
Executive branches of the State government
He came to the governors chair after yalua-
BILE experience as legislator and as coun-
cillor, and during the four years of his term
has conducted himself successfully in the
light of that experience, For the new Coy
ernor we can express no happier wish than
that the years of his administration may be
as pleasant to the Executive and as fortunate
for the State as have been the years of Gov
ernor Robes administration.
